Watch it Rain Avocados in the New 'Queer Eye' Theme Song Video

There are still two whole weeks to go before the second season of Netflix's hit revival of Queer Eyegraces our screens (official drop date: June 15), but late yesterday, we got a sneak peek at our fave fab five in a teaser video for the show's new theme song, featuring Betty Who.

Sure it's surreal—and Porowski had his share of critics after season one dropped, with plenty of snarking from the peanut gallery about whether or not he was actually capable of cooking (verdict: yes, he can) when he only demonstrated 101-level basics—many of which involved avocados—on air. But just because a grilled cheese or a guacamole recipe seems simple doesn't mean its inclusion is devoid of thought.

"The first thing that I made, I was like, everyone needs to know how to make it. I’ll teach him how to make guacamole," Porowski told Food & Wine earlier this spring. "So, I cut open an avocado, and he looks over, and he looks inside and he sees the pit. He’s like, ‘What’s that?’ I got goosebumps and I almost broke down into tears. Like, what a moment of humility.

"This guy’s never seen the inside of an avocado, and here I am trying to show him this whole complex menu, basically trying to show off my skills so that I’m like some credible home cook. It’s not about that," he says. "It’s about figuring out what works for this guy. I cut open a lime and he’s asking where the seeds are and I’m explaining there are no seeds in limes. It’s like, right. That’s what it’s about. It’s not me going to teach Julia Child’s entire book of French cuisine. I tried to apply that to every single hero and figure out what their guacamole is.”
